Title: zeitgeist DEBUG log messages appearing in zeitgeist log - should be disabled Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: In Progress Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Fix Committed Status in “zeitgeist” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “zeitgeist” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: While trying to identify rogue processes that periodically write log data unnecessarily I identified that zeitgeist is appending DEBUG messages to the /home/$user/.cache/zzeitgeist/daemon.log (see attached log). Logging messages to a debug log is useful, however on production release code I don't expect to see DEBUG messages being written to log files: 1. If they are for debugging only then they should be inhibited in production quality code. 2. Unnecessary debug messages to logs cause additional unwanted writes to the disk - when on battery power this can cause laptops to spin drives up and waste power. Since we are trying to reduce the power consumption I am requesting that debug messages are not written to this log unless debug is explicitly turned on. How to reproduce: On an installed system observe the daemon.log get DEBUG messages appended to it over time. Occurs on idle and non-idle systems.
